Susan Sarandon

Today on WHQR’s new show, “Coastline,” host Rachel Lewis Hilburn will be discussing the film incentives at 2pm. I highly recommend you listen and call in. Their studio line is: 910-343-1138. You can also tweet them questions and comments during the show @coastlineHQR.

In the meantime, we cannot tire, folks! That’s exactly what they want us to do. Please continue to call Speaker Tillis and Gov. Pat McCrory‘s office. Today, I want you to tell them your story, let them know what would happen if the film incentives went away. Make it personal. Let them see just how many people if affects and how.

It’s a double Wilmywood Wow on David Letterman! We get to see not only Melissa McCarthy but our Domie Rachelle Lefevre as well!

Meanwhile some more Tammy love will be on Kelly & Michael as Susan Sarandon joins that crazy duo. I wonder if Miss Penny (Susan’s pup) will be there in style?

So, how did Melissa rise to the top as the most fabulous leading lady?

The wait is finally over, Wilmywood! Get ready to see TAMMY one day early! Almost 3000 folks from Wilmington worked hard on this movie, and we think you deserve to catch it BEFORE the release date!

Join us at Regal Cinemas in Mayfaire Town Center on Tuesday July 1st at 8pm! Come early as we will have Tammy’s 1986 Car and jet ski on display in front of Regal Cinemas – Yes the vehicles used in the movie!
We got tickets to give away and just maybe some special prizes too! Listen to Sunny 104.5 for all the details! See you there!! CLICK HERE FOR FB INVITE!

Now, back to Under the Dome. Happy birthday day to two Domies today! First up is Max Ehrich who is new to the show,. He plays Hunter, the boy who gets into the Dome. Also, big Robo-birthday wishes to Peter Weller who was just here directing episode 10 of Under the Dome.

Without warning or further details, Boom! Studios sent out this Sleepy Hollowcomic cover and it’s gone totally viral in the Twittersphere! Talk about a tease coming out of nowhere! BOOM! has already produced comic adaptations for Planet of the Apes, Die Hard and 28 Days Later via licensing agreement with 20th Century Fox, so why not, right? I’d buy it!

In case you didn’t believe me months ago, Nicholas Sparks was here, but not for his movie he is currently shooting, The Longest Ride. Nope, it’s the one they are shooting in September, The Choice. He went scouting with his producing buddies. Sure hope he stopped by The Longest Ride set at least to say, “Yo, what’s up? Thanks for making my book into a movie again Wilmington!”

HUMP DAAAYYY! Let’s do this! Under the Dome returns to EUE/Screen Gems wrapping up the premiere episode. I think they are on more sound stages this season. That means more cool locations we will never see until the show. Argh! Later this week they will head to some of their favorite spots in Currie and Burgaw.

Jack Benderdirected the first episode for season two. Not only is he a talented director, but a talented artist as well. The Wilma W. Daniels Gallery (200 Hanover St.) will be showcasing his work beginning this Saturday. The artwork will be on display from the 15th through the 29th of this month. Three of his pieces will be from Season One of Under the Dome. Think Pink Stars! We will also get a sneak peek at some of the beautiful pieces for the upcoming season. Gallery hours are Tuesday-Friday 12pm-5pm. However, a special night is reserved for you to mingle with the artist that is Jack Bender on Saturday, March 22nd from 6pm-9pm.

Our beautiful hair stylist Joyce Gilliard, who got injured on the set of Midnight Rider in Jesup, GA and airlifted to the hospital, is getting her stitches out this morning. She thanks everyone for her support. She said she misses her Sleepy Hollow family and she looks forward to working again one day, but right now her main focus is healing. Completely. Love to you beautiful lady! She took to tweeting this morning with an update.

ABC’s Secrets and Lies headed downtown super early this morning to CFCC’s Union station. It’s gonna be a big scene, lots of extras.

Yesterday, we reported FX is FINALLY doing some scouting around Wilmington this week. Charlie Kaufmann’s How and Why stars Michael Cera and John Hawkes. Production offices open in about two weeks.

Paul Hannah

The Sin Seer‘s producer and director flew in from LA this week as auditions are currently underway. They are all about hiring as many locals as they can. This includes actors and crew. So congrats to you if you have an audition lined up with Overflow Entertainment‘s Paul Hannah and Angela White!

Melissa McCarthy is on one hell of a subliminal marketing campaign connecting the views of Mike & Molly with her upcoming feature film Tammy, shot of course right here in Wilmywood. If you remember she had Susan Sarandon on a couple of episodes on her CBS sitcom. Next up? Kathy Bates. How many other cast members will guest star as we lead up to the Tammy release on July 2nd?

And speaking of Tammy, a little FYI, Allison Janney will be on Queen Latifah today!

Some UNCW students are shooting a short documentary on the film incentives. They have been interviewing people like Aaron Syrett from the NC FIlm Office, Wilmington Film Commission’s Johnny Griffin and Screen Gems’ Bill Vassar.

As stated on their Facebook page, “Keep It Rolling” is a short documentary film about the North Carolina Film Tax Incentive and it’s significance to a healthy economy in North Carolina. Directing is Robert Conley. Sarah Flores is producing. They are concerned about their future as well as everyone else’s. Show some love and support to these college students and LIKE their Facebook Page.

If you are wonder what Kim Stewart is up to, she’s busy working on casting Upwards with director Gary Wheeler. The project is shooting in Charlotte.

Now more exciting news about our new ABC show Secrets & Lies! It’s the return of Juliette Lewis. Yep, we get our girl back! Remember when she was here for Hick in 2011? Crew members certainly do.

“Juliette Lewis was the best one on that show. She was really cool.She was great to everybody, very down to Earth,” said one NC crew member.

She has been cast as Detective Andrea Cornell, who is watching Ben Garner (Ryan Phillippe) like a hawk, after he discovers the body of a 4 year old boy while out on a morning run. Her character has been describes as being “incredibly professional, hard to read who can come across as intentionally odd with a disconcerting calm who is often if not always the smartest person in the room.” (Source:THR).
